Review: Perfect = Value + Build + Quality + Legacy + Pro - Simply put: No other microphone does so much, can handle anything you throw at it, is as versatile and affordable —especially is this price range (even up too $100)— comes close to this iconic microphone except it’s big brother the legendary and classic SM58 Honestly I can’t think of a better value for the amazing sound quality and build. This microphone is simply perfect. It has a legacy that it lives up too, provides an amazing audio experience. It’s perfect for live music, performance, studio sessions, gigs, conferences, etc. Wherever whenever you need it, it is ready and will be there to work. You can not go wrong here. It’s an essential and fundamental tool in my music gear toolbox and it’s my primary goto for anything i need.
Review: GREAT Microphone. Solid performance - I picked up this mic because I am doing sound for a live music web series featuring solo artists all the way up to 5 and 6 piece bands. At first I bought it thinking I would upgrade later to an SM58 when I got some more cash, but honestly I am incredibly pleased with the performance of this microphone and won't be replacing it anytime soon. I read somewhere that this mic is actually better suited to recording purposes because it doesn't have a transformer built in like the SM58. Whether or not it makes a difference, I can say that it seems easier to fit in the mix than an SM58 to me. I borrowed a friends 58 to compare and I came up with an interesting conclusion. The SM48 seems to fit better in the mix with less effort. I just high pass around 180 hz and slightly boost top end around 4k to give it a little more air. It comes out smooth as butter.. With the SM58 I found myself wanting to cut a lot of mid range out because it was almost overbearing. To me, all of this makes perfect sense when discussing qualifications for a live vocal mic used by a lead singer. You would normally want that extra mid range presence in a live setting, but for recording the SM48 wins in my book. Other than sound, the main selling point is value. I expected mediocre results with this mic, especially since I picked it up for $30 but it has absolutely blown me away. I am going to buying at least 2 more in case I come across an artist with several vocalists. The build quality is also great. It's a Shure microphone, and I've never seen a poorly made Shure.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What type of connector does it use?**
A: To avoid confusion with a previous answer, this microphone accepts the female end of a standard XLR cable just like any other microphone that you can find that isn't USB and doesn't have a hardwired cable. I have never heard of a microphone accepting the male end of an XLR cable.

**Q: Help! Which speaker can connect to this mike?**
A: Unless you have a powered speaker with inputs (like the Mackie SRM150), you wouldn't be able to plug this directly into a speaker. In a typical application, you would plug the mic into a mixer via XLR cable, the mixer would run to a power amp, then the power amp would run to the speaker. The Mackie SRM150 is an example of an all-in-one system. Hope this helps.

**Q: can i use this microphone with xvive u3 xlr system? thank you**
A: No- the plug will not fit and the sm48 has different power requirements

**Q: what 10watt will work well with sm48s**
A: Now now, folks, let's be nice.  We all know that a pepperoni pizza and a beer is the only proper matchup.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shure legendary quality for half price!
*by S***A on November 27, 2025*

I’ve owned this microphone for over a year and have been totally satisfied. First I purchased a PGA48 for the same price, but the noise coming from handling it was bad, so I returned it. This is well insulated and sturdy…I’ve used the legendary SM58 for years and honestly I can’t find much difference when I use this that costs half the price.
